Water Hardness

Water Quality Monitoring is a vital step towards saving energy costs at any facility that utilizes boilers.  Recent research has shown that better control of parameters  such such has water hardness, carbonate hardness and conductivity through online water quality monitoring can save facilities thousands of dollars in energy and down time costs.  Water quality monitoring monitoring can also greatly increasethe functional life of a boiler, allowing for significant savings on capital equipment and investment.

Memeco Sales represents Heyl Brothers North America Water Analysis for monitoring:

  • Hardness
  • Alkalinity

Applications  examples for low-pressure boilers include:

  • Commercial bakeries
  • Meat processing facilities
  • Steam Heaters
  • Commercial Laundry facilities

Applications for High-pressure boilers include:

  • Food and Beverage
  • Pulp & Paper
  • Pharmaceutical
  • Building materials

Testomat 2000® monitors the water hardness for steam generators in Boiler houses, reverse osmosis plants, water treatment plants, etc.  In addition the Testomat 2000® allows for a separate, quality-dependent softening to be installed via the use of external control units (e.g.  Softmaster® MMP1 or Softmaster® MMP2).  The simple conceptual design of the instrument also enables the measurement of other parameters in water, e.g. carbonate hardness, pvalues and minus-m values.

Due to its multifunctional design, the basic instrument can be adapted to numerous further requirements.  The Range of the Testomat 2000® devices enables users to measure a variety of other parameters.
